"This immersive experience invites participants into the layered reality of a soup kitchen, where the everyday and the extraordinary converge." #xr #animation

Don't know who at Meta created microgestures for low-cal teleporting (hand tracking that mimics controllers), but it's brilliant. Avoids tiring out your hands and you don't have to think about it. #xr #mr #vr #unity3d

🎭 Why Indie #XR Festivals Matter: A New Medium Needs Its Own Stage

🥽 The world of #XR and immersive experiences stretches far beyond video games, 360° video, or animation.

🎬 That’s why festivals like @fivars.bsky.social are not just valuable—they’re vital.
